14 “I will deliver this people from the power of the grave;(A)
    I will redeem them from death.(B)
Where, O death, are your plagues?
    Where, O grave, is your destruction?(C)

“I will have no compassion,
15     even though he thrives(D) among his brothers.
An east wind(E) from the Lord will come,
    blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
    and his well dry up.(F)
His storehouse will be plundered(G)
    of all its treasures.
16 The people of Samaria(H) must bear their guilt,(I)
    because they have rebelled(J) against their God.
They will fall by the sword;(K)
    their little ones will be dashed(L) to the ground,
    their pregnant women(M) ripped open.”[a]
